The Best Writing from The Atlantic's Technology Channel 2012

The Best Writing from The Atlantic's Technology Channel is an anthology that showcases the site's kaleidoscopic approach to covering the tech scene. This isn't just a book about technologies, but the ideas that animate them, the people who execute them, and the users who transform them. You'll find everything from an exclusive account of the technology that powered the Obama campaign to an investigation into what makes a stock photo, memes to space, drones to abortion, philosophy to animated GIFs.


Edited by Atlantic senior editor Alexis Madrigal, with staff writer Megan Garber and senior associate editor Rebecca J. Rosen, the collection also features Ross Andersen, Ian Bogost, Yoni Appelbaum, Sarah Rich, Suzanne Fischer, Howard Rheingold, Robinson Meyer, and Alexandra Samuel.
